Abstract
In many countries there has been a drive to determine wages and conditions at the level of the enterprise rather than at the industry or national level. In both Australia and New Zealand, governments have pursued policies that have at tempted to decentralize their collective bargaining system to the enterprise level. Although in each case the approach to the process of decentralization has been different, both countries have sought to lower the level at which bargaining takes place.
